I assume that you are asking for a confirmation that an EEA Category D visa can be used in place of a UK transit visa.

Yes, this is the case. When they made the new transit rules in 2014 they decided that a Category D visa mitigated the risk to the extent that a UK transit visa is overkill and hence not required in most cases.
